This is just a very brief bit of shameless pluggage on my part- hope nobody minds.

Angels of the Silences is:

a) written by me.
b) published by Pendragon Press.
c) graced with a very nice cover by Neil Williams.
d) about two seventeen year old girls called Emily and Biff who are best friends. They do their best to keep an eye on their other friends and stop them coming from harm. They've also been dead for nine months.

It's a mere three pounds in price. Not quite as bleak as some of my other stuff- compared to The Narrows, it's almost a teen comedy.

Almost.

Alright, I'll bugger off now and stop spamming.

Only as mad as Prof, so throw away the key now. (Don't worry, it's a key which fits all doors in this asylum, so Prof, and I, of course, will deliberate via the flaking plaster, and the holes we've scratched out of the walls to whisper to each other; perhaps that is one another, Prof currently inhabits a realm of multiple personalities...go figure) (:

A cabinet minister in Clement Atlee's goverment once said that Frank.

To which the larger than life Mr Bevin replied in a quietly menacing tone "Oh no you're not boyo."

I love those kinds of references to people, though how many are true, and how many are not, remains to be seen.

Personally I prefer to think people are much funnier than not, the truth would only demystify the fun things in life.

Just heard yesterday from Chris Teague at Pendragon- Angels is back from the printers and shipping now. So, if you ordered it, goodies await, apparently.}

Thanks to the folks who bought a copy! Finally got my hands on the author copies (they came last week but due to various kinds of faffing around with the dear old Royal Mail I only got ahold of them yesterday. And yes, it looks very nice. Thanks to that nice Mr Williams and that nice Mr Teague.

Ack. Hate this self-pimping, but if I don't do it... well, we had a thread about that lately, didn't we? Anyway, don't read this if you don't want to...

Really quite nice review of Angels here:

That's all.
